Hi

Has anyone used the link to Ashtons Solicitors on UK Thai Embassy website. It is in the information section on O A Longstay visa requirements regarding the notorised documents ? It states 'Documentts 4 to 8 need to be certified by notary public or Solictor( if you click on solicitor it leads to Ashtons Solicitors in London)

I am in the process of applying in person at UK Thai Embassy next month for O A Longstay visa. I have all required documentation which now needs to be certified by Notary Public or Solicitor as stated on their website. They also provide a link to a solicitor called Ashtons Solicitors in London. Their price is £5 per document with reassurance that signed and stamped documents by them is sufficient for UK Thai embassy. As the embassy have provided this link, then I assume this will suffice?

To have documents notorised and sealed is more expensive. I had quotes between £100 and £200 from other firms. Hence I am inclined to get it done by Ashtons Solicitors for £25!

Many thanks ( I won't phone Embassy as waste of time, never answer phone or my emails)

Hi, I got my visa last November and I used a Notary which cost 150GBPand would have cost more to have them sealed. I realised afterwards that the Embassy will accept docs being certified by a solicitor. The examples the hand out at the embassy are docs certified by a solicitor. Don't waste your money on Notary. The application was dealt with very quickly, I arrived at the Embassy at 11.55 five minutes before the deadline! and was out of there at 12.05 with receipt to collect passport the following day! Hope this is helpful.

Great. Thank you so much for info.
